Guitar-Accompanied High Holiday Services for Jews in their 20s and 30s in the Valley
$40 per person until August 18th
Valley Ruach’s Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur services are all guitar-accompanied, shorter than your average Conservative service, and since they’ve replaced the cantor with a song leader and the rabbi with an energetic rabbinic student, you’ll spend each service singing melodies everyone knows or listening to community members share stories and inspiring thoughts rather than counting the pages until it’s socially acceptable to leave early. For the first time ever, Valley Ruach will be offering an alternative to the alternative 2nd day service! Beginning at 11:30am, and running only 90 minutes, join Jews in their 20s and 30s for RH2 – The Game.  Everyone in attendance will be able to compete for prizes (some worth over $100) as a game of trivia and speed is interspersed with guitar-accompanied prayer.  Admission to this service is free for all Valley Ruach and Adat Ari El High Holiday ticket holders 21-39 years old.  Those attending services at other synagogues can try something different the 2nd day and purchase a ticket to this service for just $18. Tickets may be purchased online at www.valleyruach.org for as little as $40 per person by August 18th and as little as $60 per person after that! (you must be 21-39 years old to attend.  No children allowed)
